Week 14 Blog

12/6/2018

 
Dear Waters Families,

It was wonderful to see so many of you this past Saturday at the annual Artisan Craft Fair.  We are also extremely grateful for the support of the Book Fair. The greater the purchases the greater the Scholastic bucks that go back to the classrooms!  Stay tuned to learn about the things we were able to buy for our classrooms!

A gentle reminder to send your children to school with the necessary winter gear.  Coats, hats and gloves are helpful to keep your children warm during outdoor playtime.  While it is getting colder, recess is an important part of the students day. Outdoor recess is favored over being in the gym.  Only in extreme weather conditions to we keep the students inside.

Further, please mark your child’s clothing with their names.  We have a HUGE inventory in our Lost and Found cabinets. If your child is missing a mitten, hat or perhaps a boot, you may find it in our Lost and Found.  

Students and staff are excitedly preparing for our annual Holiday Concert.
Please note there will be 5 concerts over two days!

Kindergarten will have their own concert on Wednesday, December 19th at 8:45 am.  

Wednesday there will two identical concerts, showtimes are 9:30 am and 1:45 pm.   Wednesday’s concerts will feature 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th grades.

Thursday, December 20th there will be two identical concerts.  
Showtimes are 9:30 am and 1:45 pm.  
Thursday’s concerts will feature grades 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th.  

Waters Choir will be have their debut and will sing at all of the concerts.  

We look forward to seeing you there!  

Our Student Leadership Team has planned a Festive themed week beginning December 17.  Check out the calendar of themed days! Stay tuned for details.

Have you heard Aspen is coming in January?  Beginning in January, CPS will move to Aspen, a new student information system that will replace GRADEBOOK and you will be receiving emails to update your parent portal.  This will also affect the Student Portal as well. We are excited about this new system but realize there will be some “bumps” along the way. Teachers have been in training on how to navigate the new system.  More information to come.
 

Sincerely,
Ms. Kipp
Principal
